Problem history: 2008 JD 2305 on original factory battery. Somehow, it lasted this far. Sometimes it's barely turned it over but once it's turned over at least twice; it's always started. Today: Started digging a hole around 10am. Ran the backhoe about 1800rpm about 2 hrs. Broke for lunch. Came...

It's possible that if the county really stops plowing, his best solution for the available budget may involve buying this: and this:

1/2 km per day! But those snowbanks were barely as high as his loader...THESE are snowbanks. :eek: http://www.fistofblog.com/2007/02/21/now-thats-some-snow-banks/

If you're not convinced that a 3/4ton will do the job, and the budget is big enough for a 150hp tractor, why not use this? SICARD 5150 SNOW BLOWER FOR SALE IN NY NEW YORK. 1977 SICARD 5150. USED SICARD 5150. This is a screw, not a nail - use a screwdriver, not a hammer. You asked on a tractor...

It's been recently repainted and the current owner is a few owners removed from the original buyer. I originally suspected it's a 3 point hitch blower, but it's had a John Deere Quick Hitch frame welded on to allow it to run on the front of a lawn & garden 430. There doesn't appear to be a...

I'm looking for the speed with standard sized pulleys at full throttle - haven't been able to find it. I'm guessing about 2000-2100 rpm, but I'm guessing. Also - was it different for the gas & diesel models? I'm asking about the 1980's L&G, not the 1950's row crop.

Title says it all - can it be done easily? (No major fabrication or welding...) Reason - the 54" blowers are hard to come by used. I can find a nice used 59" for considerably less than a new 54". Anyone done it? Or anyone even tried?

I just bought a tiller from a guy who had it on BX23. I'm putting it on a JD 2305 and the shaft is too short. Not only would it naturally be too short, I have Pat's easy change - which adds 4 in to the required length. The local TSC sells 3in and 4in PTO extensions. I would probably need two...

Hi all, I'm looking at a used Baltimatic spreader to buy. While turn the spreading plate (the flat plate outside of the hopper) by hand to make sure it was free, I felt a bump or hitch in the rotation. I kept turning it to try and discover the problem and suddenly it stopped turning. It feels...

I've read a lot that putting the x series wheel spacers on the rears does a lot to help with stability. My questions: Would putting them on the front also help? Would using the Bro-Tek spacers (2" vs JD's 1") be a better idea or is that too much on the axle? Maybe 1" on the front and 2" on...

If you go by the official numbers, the 2305 has a rear axle capacity of 1477 lbs. It may be the only SCUT in the world with a weaker rear axle than front axle. If you use the Deere ballast calculator, the rear axle is carrying 1739 lbs with a 200cx loader, operator, and 260 backhoe - a...
